    Loving all this copper, like that's a surpirse. That rainbow patina is really cool!! I'm willing to bet that the copper blade holder will act like a giant heat sink after extended run time. I know my hilts get pretty hot near the blade LED when I'm setting up colors with the RICE software, so that should heat up too with coppers heat conductivity. Sweet looking sabers!

    I suppose it's possible. On another note... the things is heavy!

    Wow, I love your custom machined hilts SO much! They're all just plain ***y

    What color are you going to go for on the LED?

    Thanks!

    Most likely green/viridian. Somewhere in that range.

    Another little update for this beast.

    Did a little anodizing. Unfortunately, it did not come out black as intended, but the "gun metal" result is kinda cool. Still deciding if it should be left alone or painted black. Also, some pieces for the chamber and the cool little fluorite crystal that will be installed.

    Holy crap man, your work never ceases to impress me. That beautiful hilt and chassis design, the stencil plating on the chassis, those awesome-looking 3D printed chamber parts, the gunmetal anodizing, everything. I aspire to be as skilled as you as a maker someday.

    I actually think it looks better with gunmetal than if it would be black-ish...
    Looking great so far!

    Looks fantastic, though I think there may be a bit too many different metal finishes going on for my taste -- but I will withhold judgement until I see it finished. It certainly is creative and masterfully executed.
    I assume the disks in front are going to hold the crystal -- yes? Either way, they look incredible.
    BTW, how does the chassis connect?

    Looking forward to seeing the progress.

    I think the main reason I am on the fence with the gun metal is because I designed those pieces to be black and perhaps that's what I am used to seeing. Ultimately, it is up to the customer and what he wants. If he likes the gun metal it stays I personally love all of the colors. Obi Wan, Kyle Katarn, and many others have a nice mix of black, silver, and red metals.

    Set screw will hold the chassis. And yes, those discs are for the chamber.
